The !gg command is reworked and works like the ff command now. 7 !ggs are needed to close a game.

Hi guys,
we still have some trouble with reconnecting. Here are the two still known scenarios:

Scenario A: local error
Someone looses the connection, reconnects and then immediately looses the connection again. His proxy.log.txt says that it has been reconnected and after that that it has a socket error on the local socket.
This means, Warcraft 3 got invalid game data from the server and therefore decided to quit the game.

Scenario B: dropped with chat
Someone looses the connection, reconnects. It says ingame "Player [xy] reconnected." and the afftected player is able to chat. But the lag screen does not disappear and after the time limit for the lag screen is over the person is dropped due to timeout.


If you have one of those two scenarios, please do not create a new bug report, but reply to this bug report, adding your proxy.log.txt and the file debug.bin which can be found next to proxy.log.txt in your installation folder of the DotAlicious Gaming Client. Also state which scenario fits your case and add the game number.

With this data we should be able to get rid of this bug soon, so please report plenty.
If you have another scenario or you were able to reconnect successfully, please leave a short reply, too.

DotAlicious Gaming is a new unique kind of DotA platform, which was created by annoyed players that wanted to have good competetive games without leavers. Using modified GHost++ hosting technology, we can provide our growing community with low latency, connection protected games for all players with a good connection to Europe (East Coast US, North Africa, West Asia etc).
We have different ranking methods and achievements that make DotA even more fun than it already is. This also ensures you play with people of your skill level and most importantly: without leavers! But even though we want the teams to be distributed evenly, we allow friends to join the same game and play together. Because teamplay is what makes DotA great.
So come on over and try out our public beta: www.dotalicious-gaming.de

Comments?

Yes it does. You didn't see any since there was only 1 client update so far from 27 to 28.
Another is coming in a few days when the reconnection bug is (hopefully) completely fixed.

Sry, can't do that. Don't worry tough, there will be a stats reset soon.

Hi,
we could use another developer to help with the bug fixing and implementations of new features like the clan system, as well as new stuff for the website.

So if you're a developer interested in helping us (so far this project is non commercial, so there unfortunately is no money in it (yet)), please let me know.
There are some minimum requirements:

Web developer requirements
Familiar with SVN.
Experience in asynchronous javascript and PHP.
Knowledge about how databases work (especially MySQL).
Experience in object oriented programming.
Used and modified SMF before.
Good math skills.

Infrastructure developer requirements
Familiar with SVN.
Familiar with GHost++.
Knowledge about how databases work (especially MySQL).
Experience in C++.
Knowledge about Qt. Used it before.
Knowledge about Networking, the TCP/IP stack, TCP in particular.
Good math skills.

If you're interested please write the following stuff to me as application:
Tough questions first (we don't want you to waste your time)
---------------------------
All interests:
- If you have an average of 6.8 over 50 samples and you get a new sample with the value 11, what is the new average?
- What does e ^ (-i pi) mean and what value does it have? Why is the full equation you get if you set the expression equal to its value so famous and what so special about it?
- If you throw a ball with a start velocity of 5m/s in a angle of 60° into the air, how far will it fly until it reaches the ground, which is absolutely level? Which important variable is missing to solve this problem? Fill in a good estimation. (Assume g to be 10m/s²)
- TheCarGoesRoundAndRound <- take this "word", calculate the most popular 16 byte hash in hex form, take the last 6 letters of that hex string (hint: first letter of this 6 byte string is "9") and add all numbers in that string together, call this number n. What value does the n'th number from the Fibonacci series have?

Website interests only:
- How can you add a new action to SMF?
- What javascript engine is this website using and how can you make all links in the main menu say "Hello World!" when you click on them?

Infrastructure interests only:
- How would you improve the latency of our network traffic?
- In GHost++, how do you free up the memory after a player left the game?

Show your creativitiy and make at least one suggestion what could be done to improve DotAlicious.



Hi Community,
IceFrog asked me for two descriptive paragraphs about DotAlicious.

Can you write me two paragraphs that you would want to write to someone to sell them the idea of your league? Like a short feature set and an explanation of it

So I thought to myself, why not let you guys do that
So if you have a good idea, reply here with your two paragraphs.

Obvious... the more experience your enemies have, the more you get for winning. The less they have, the less you get.
